Heat Review Flashcards
is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 degree celsius
specific heat
is the movement of heat through waves in empty space
radiation
is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas
boiling point
is the lowest temperature, where there is no heat
absolute zero
is the disorder in a system
entropy
is the movement of heat by direct contact of particles in matter
conduction
is a device used to measure changes in thermal energy
calorimeter
is the measure of the average kinetic energy in molecules
temperature
is the temperature scale that has water boil at 100 and freeze at 0
celsius
is when molecules move farther apart as they move faster when heated
thermal expansion
is the movement of heat energy through fluids
convection
is equal to 746 watts
horsepower
is the amount of energy changed divided by the time it takes
power
a process describes how well energy is converted from one form to another. It is a ratio of output energy divided by input energy.
